It’s been an interesting week… fun, good, busy, but interesting.

Jim and Seth have been here for the past week. They came for the purpose of video-taping us to create a documentary/video that we can use to inform our supporters, and others interested in our ministry, about what we’re doing here. It has been an INSANELY busy time, trying to give them a glimpse into our lives and the country in one week. At times it has felt like we’re movie stars… everything from making sure your hair and makeup look good every day to camera’s rolling and clicking at any given time. Yes, deep inside I admit it was fun, but I’ll also admit that it was exhausting. Chris took the guys to the airport at 4am this morning… Seth’s on this way back to his wife, Jamie, in Indiana, and Jim is en-route to Hungary for a week. (If you want to see a creative video we all put together in some of our rare downtime, check it out here.)

On top of filming, we said good-bye to Ieva this week. The school choir is in America for 3 weeks and she is with them. (Strange that she’s in my country and I’m in hers and we’re not together….) It was hard cause it’s the first time the 4 of us have been apart for more than a couple of days since we all became friends a year ago.

All of these pics were taken by Jim… see his website for some of his favorites… these are some additional shots that I like.

Our sincerest thanks to Jim and Seth for their work here this week. It was all on their own dime and we have been truly blessed by them, by their work, by their prayers and genuine interest in our lives. Thank you, guys! (Seth, PLEASE bring Jamie next time! LOL)
